A political cartoon by Halifax-based artist Bruce MacKinnon has gone viral in light of the sexual assault allegations against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

The image, which originally ran in the Halifax Chronicle Herald, shows a distressed Lady Justice, on her back with a blindfold over her eyes and her scales scattered behind her. She is pinned down by an apparently male figure wearing Republican cuffs.

One hand covers her mouth while the other holds her wrist.

And the 1st time he renders an opinion from the bench that runs counter to liberal group think, they'll be writing him up as the Accused Rapist.

The Rats have comported themselves in a truly, and openly, despicable manner in this.
My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

Appalling, vicious, unthinkably cruel. I didn't think I could despise the left any more- and then I do.

Proof positive that liberalism is a mental illness.

There is just nothing they will be able to do to brace for the red tsumani coming their way.  Blue wave my posterior!

Same thing happened to Roy Moore, some here even joined in on the razzing. Suddenly it happens to a good ole boy that gets along with the RINOs and everyone here cares.

How many times here on this very forum did we see the following picture posted (with various captions added)?

BTW... the above picture was at a rally that included founding members from BamaCarry (and no-bars gun rights group that is of influence in state. Roy was one of the few that actually courted gun rights groups in state and supported constitutional carry.

I expect that from liberals, what I didn't expect it from was those that claimed to be conservative. Kavanaugh is being railroaded from expected leftist, but at least he is not being inside bombed by those that claim conservative credentials (including myself).

All any sane person would ask for is some proof beyond known lifetime liberals doing a "He said, She said" three ring circus. Some shred of tangible proof instead of hearsay. Something above the possible tainting of human politics.

I hope Kavanaugh is able to pull it off, but mostly I hope conservatives start supporting other conservatives even if they have Christianity credentials.

To us, yes.... it's disgusting.  But it's just typical shtick for the Democrats.  It's how they roll.

@Sighlass are you going to moan about Moore on every Kavanaugh thread?  I do not understand your obsession.  Just put him on a cross already.

This is the first time I’ve seen that meme (I think) but I like the gif of Moore trying to stay mounted on the horse better.  It’s never-fail comedy.

I've been feeling and saying that for years, now.  And truly and amazingly.... every day my sentiments about the leftists just get worse.  Where (how) will it end, I wonder......?

The artist is mocking not only Judge Kavanaugh, but also a young child and prayer/faith itself.  Are there no Democrats who would condemn at least the last two?

Disgusting doesn't even cover it.

The cartoonist is one Chris Britt.

I worked with Chris Britt at the Seattle Times in the mid-1990s. He was a genuinely nice guy.

I don't know what happened to him.

Damn.

@Polly Ticks

Maybe a couple would, but they won’t dare speak up.  The rest have willingly descended to a very dark place.

If there are.... I sure couldn't name them.  I'm unaware of ANY Democrats that are not despicable partisan hacks (and worse).  Anybody?
